Peace Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America located in the small town of Lauderdale, MN which sits between Minneapolis and St. Paul. When Pastor Dave Greenlund was asked to pastor the congregation, the Synod office thought he might be a hospice pastor that would let the church die a good death. That was 2004. Peace is still alive and kicking showing a little growth overall. Peace is an example of the decline in Mainline Protestantism and its possible revival. In this episode, I chat with Rev. Greenlund about the story of Peace Lutheran, its redevelopment and how it learned to connect with the community around it.
